Zeppelin Attacks
Zeppelin attacks were depicted as further proof of the inhumanity of Germans, who were violating the agreements made between the European powers at the Fourth Hague Convention, which stated that attacks "or bombardment, by whatever means, of towns, villages, dwellings, or buildings which are undefended." (Hayward, 107-8) The threat of zeppelins were further proof that Germans did not play by the "rules of war", as they also demonstrated when they made the decision to use poisonous gas. These perceptions helped to depict Germans as being against British values.
